Please help me welcome author Reut Barak to Full Moon Bites! Watch below for our interview, and excerpt from Red Riding Hood and a giveaway at the end! :)

Hi! Would you tell us a
little bit about yourself?

Reut Barak: Hi, I'm Reut Barak and I
live in Scotland. I think you can say I'm a bit of an adventurer.
I've lived in a few countries and I met people from all over the world. I also
like to go hiking and backpacking and I'm always up for learning new things.

Can you tell us, in your
own words not the book description, a little about your book?

Reut Barak: Funny Fairy Tales are not
ordinary books. They work a lot like an app and it feels like someone is
telling you a story. They are also a very quick read, a bit like a snack,
something fun you read on the plane or waiting for the train, and every person
reads them differently. Some people giggle and swipe left. Others stop and
think about the story.

Which came first for you,
the characters or the plot?

Reut Barak: Well, I think they come at
the same time, because we all know the original fairy tales, but the story for
me starts the minute I get a fresh point of view from a character. Like in Snow
White, Shraga the sarcastic mirror is where the story starts. It's his
interaction with the queen that makes this so colourful.

Reut Barak: When a book passes the
critical reader and I know that now it's the final draft and it's ready to go
to the copy-editor. I get such a sense of achievement and relaxation, knowing
I've done it and it's complete.

Where can we purchase
this book?

Reut Barak: The books are available on
Kindle, iTunes and Nook.

Random Quickies!

Cats or dogs?

Reut Barak: Dogs. They have a really
warm heart.

Do you read more than you
write?

Reut Barak: Yes, I love reading. It's a
great way to learn about the world and to get inspired.

Favorite book or author?
Yeah we know it can be hard to choose! ;)

Reut Barak: It is so hard to choose, but
hands down, it's Call of the Wild by Jack London. I can't believe he even wrote
that book! It's all about Buck, a half dog half wolf, that lets go of many
generations of taming and becomes a wild wolf once again. It's set up in the Klondike gold rush, with the northern winter explorations and the roughness of
the ice and snow. I love it when Buck looks into the fire and instead of seeing
his masters, he sees a more primitive man, from a world that was younger and
more dangerous.

Right now in your line of
site, how many books can you see?

Reut Barak: Funny Fairy Tales is all
about bringing a fresh twist to the stories everybody loves. There are about
20-30 popular fairy tales, and I've so far done 3, so I've definitely got a lot
to explore!!

If a laptop, what kind do
you own and would you recommend it to other authors?

Reut Barak: I bought a used 2011 Macbook
Air Mini a couple of months ago, and I love it to bits. They are a superior model,
and maybe someday Apple will make them again (wink, wink).

Do you have anything you
would like to say to your readers?

Reut Barak: Life is a collection of
moments. So make them count. At every moment your experience is what you see,
feel and think. So if there is anything at all that you would like to do or
have, just go for it – make that moment count :)

A long time ago

in a faraway land

there lived a woman

who was allergic to dust.

Her name was Cinderella

Funny Fairytales are a twist on the old beloved Grimm and Disney Fairy Tales. They are fun short stories people can read in a couple of minutes when waiting for the bus or on a train ride. Work just like an app, with story plot changes, new adventurous characters, mysteries and danger.

Funny Fairy Tales 1 - Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs

The new Snow White, with the vicious queen Anagrola, the confused and sarcastic mirror Shraga, and the most gifted seven men you've ever met.

The traditional tale, with a new development - snow white is not pretty, but smart, the mirror, Shraga has a hate-hate relationship with the jealous queen, and the dwarfs are each craft masters.

The new Red Riding, with the hood that leads to fame and fortune, the mysterious wild wolf, and a grandmother so evil, she could rewrite the history of sin. Red’s not little anymore!

The traditional tale, with a new development - the grandmother is exceptionally vicious and the wolf very wise, red riding hood is a young curious and passionate woman exploring the life of fame, and the topic of false accusation is strong in the book.

Reut Barak is a freelance journalist, previously published in National Geographic online. She has an MBA from the University of Oxford, and has worked and traveled internationally. This is her first book series.

Well, no not really... The true story is:

Reut was born in Camelot in the year 1201, following the famous explosion of the northern dragon tower.

She has a degree in fantasy and science fiction from the University of Atlantis and this record can be found in the central library, now twenty thousand leagues under the sea.
